Yea, nope, that doesn't seem to work ("Private archive not found").  It might 
be disabled or something.

Ultimately, I want to make the archives available on a new server via the 
normal methods.

I am not sure what you are ultimately wanting to do, but you don't want the 
periodic .txt or .txt.gz files. The file you want is the cumulative 
archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file which contains unscrubbed (at 
least if the list's scrub_nondigest is No) messages with complete headers, not 
scrubbed messages with only selected headers.

Any list member can download this via the web.

If the site has set

PUBLIC_MBOX = Yes

There will be a link to "download the full raw archive" on the lists archive 
contents page.

If not you can still get it via a private archive url of the form 
http://example.com/mailman/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox where listname 
is the actual list name, and yes, it appears twice. This does require 
authentication as a list member or admin/moderator, even if the archives are 
public, and may require using something like curl or wget if the archive is 
large to avoid browser time outs.

Once you have the mbox, you use bin/arch to import it into another Mailman 
instance. There is no "web" way to do that.
